Contentment

For the last several weeks, my heart  has been filled with joy and overwhelming contentment.  Here we are, unemployed  and we are at peace with the job loss and knowing that God is with us and softly guiding us.

Just driving down the street brings joy as I look around and take in all that God has made and the beauty it brings to my life.

Being outside with Mitzee on a beautiful day, watching leaves fall straight down to the earth, or swing from side to side, or float gently and come to rest on the ground is beautiful.  There's a certain grace and calm in it.  And when you add the fact that  you are loved by so many and have been blessed with much, you think "it just doesn't get any better than this."

We know as the leaves fall that summer has ended, fall is present, and winter is waiting its turn around the corner.  How thoughtful God was in giving us four seasons to enjoy, be amazed by, thankful for and to look forward to. 

I, for one, take in every day and everthing God has made and marvel at the thought and planning and effort he put into everything.  Amazing!

Enjoy!
